Blocking Agent Polling Got Us 273 'echo waiting' Turns
We blocked an agent's polling and it sent 273 echo turns. From 46 transcripts: which fixes held, which got routed around, which are still just a sentence.
Dimantika is a product studio in Gdańsk, Poland that builds software for high-friction workflows — the kind of work people do every day, manually, until something finally makes it go faster. Three products, two of them in beta, one engineering principle.
We ship software for teams and creators who spend too many hours on work that shouldn't take hours. Each product is a focused bet on a single, repetitive workflow.
UGC video, made by your agent — a script goes in over MCP, the CLI, or REST, and a talking actor comes back.
Text to short-form video — script, voiceover, visuals, captions, and music, in one workflow.
Open-source license compliance for engineering teams — scan, detect, and resolve legal risk in your dependencies.
Automate repetitive, high-friction work that people actually do. Not the hypothetical workflows in a pitch deck — the ones where the same human clicks the same sequence, five days a week.
We pick workflows where the unit economics already make sense. If it takes a person an hour today and a user will pay to get that hour back, it's on our list.
Code merged to the main branch reaches production the same day. Small releases keep disagreements cheap and feedback loops short. We'd rather ship the rough version of the right thing than the polished version of the wrong one.
LLMs aren't the product — they're leverage over effort. We embed them where the ROI is measurable and obvious. Everywhere else, boring software wins.

Dimantika Sp. z o.o. is a small Polish technology company. We build AI-assisted products end-to-end — from the research phase to the line of code that ships on a Tuesday.
Two founders, three products (two in beta, one paused), and a deliberate preference for doing less of anything that doesn't ship.
We keep the team small on purpose. Every person here — including the AI one — has a specific thing they own.

Co-founder · Product & Marketing
Leads product development and marketing, and manages the coding agents that build Clipwright and ViralFaceless.

Co-founder · Accounting & Administration
Helps with Dimantika's accounting and day-to-day company administration.
AI teammate · CAO
Handles research, drafts, and the tedious middle of every project. Chief Automation Officer — the role that makes our principle a practice.
We pick boring infrastructure for load-bearing parts and interesting tools where they pay for themselves. Postgres for data. TypeScript for code. LLMs where the ROI is measurable, and never as decoration.
Fast iteration beats grand architecture every week. Ship the rough version, measure what happens, and earn the right to complicate things later.
We publish what we actually figure out — AI automation that works, engineering decisions we'd do again, compliance patterns nobody else writes about.

Our AI pipeline put a source line under charts built on data we never had. Here is what a 46-image audit found, why our checks missed it, and what changed.

A new enum value passes every schema diff and still breaks clients that validate responses. Read as text, send from a closed list, and mark it Breaking.
